3 November 1943 Mission #6 Target: Wilhelmshaven
The dock facilities at this North Sea port which included shipbuilding and German U-boat submarine-pen complexes were the 392nd’s target on this date. Twenty-eight (28) aircraft with the 579th leading the Group were committed (27) B-24s finally reaching the target. One aircraft was forced to abort prior to target because of aircraft difficulties. A mixed bomb load was carried consisting of (538) 100# weapons and (112) 1,000# General-Purpose Junior Blockbusters. The Group released on a Pathfinder Radar (PFF) lead ship as weather over the target was obscured precluding visual bombing. Results of bombing were unobserved, but post-target recon of the area showed the effort to be good. Five (5) FW-190 and ME-109 fighters were encountered with no damage to the Group or claims. The unit encountered no losses on this mission, either aircraft or aircrew, however (5) ships were battle damaged from flak. The mission duration with all aircraft landing safely was 6:30 hours.
